Ancient Persian Gems.

A well-known European collector of
ancient gems has just sent to this coun-
try fourteen antique turquoise pebbles,
collected in different parts of Persia.
They are curiously engraved with let
tiers from the Koran, inlaid with gold.
The pebbles are so old that the tor
quoise blue has faded until in some
parts it has become almost white,
They are shaped Tregularly, with the
exception of two or three which are
like the designs seen in cashmere
work. They will be made into neck
lace, and the lady who can secure it
will possess veritable antique which
will be the envy of all her friends. -

Many carefully conducted expert
ments have proved beyond a doubt
that young animals pay much better
for feeding than do those which have
long passed their years Of growth. II
this fact we're more generally realized
there would be fewer old animals kept,
and farmers would change their stock
much oftener than has been their prac-
tice. Many buyers have already learned
better than to purchase an old COW or
pair of oxen, because they know that
no gain in growth can be obtained,
only a gain in condition, and this at a
cost fully equal to all it will bring
when the animal is again offered for
sale.

What an Enemy of the Feline Family Ha

What an Enemy of the Feline Family Has
to Say About Kitty.
It is impossible to- get UP any en-
thusiasm over cat; mild interest is
all that can be expected, except, per-
haps, from that class of women to
whom this animal is a sort of diety,
such as it was to the Egyptians. Cats
are colorless in character as compared
with dogs, they have no deep feeling;
one can hardly imagine them grieving
unto death for the loss of their owner;
and although they have a confding
way of rubbing themselves against
people, it always seemed to me as il
there was some underhand motive for
such manifestations. At the
best puss is but passively
emotional, and when she comes
purring round there is a sense of
physiological rather than of personal
attachment. I think the essentially
unimpressible nature of the animal
was we'll suggested in old George
Withers' saying: "Care will kill a
cat," and 1t has sometimes seemed as
if it might be we'll to try the expert
ment on large scale. The home feel
ing which appears at first sight to be
strong point in favor of the cat,
turns out on examination to be rather
against her on the score of genuine
emotion. 1t is an attachment to places
rather than to persons, a lonely garnet
where she has once lived being more
attractive to her than the society of her
benefactors. Even in her especial field
of usefulness the cat is by no means the
paragon of skill and efficiency
she is too often represent
ed; a terrier will ! eclipse
her as a ratter, and she is too easily
spoiled by indulgence to keep up a
reputation as a mouser. In fact, the
cat has become an aesthetic ornament,
the pride of apothecary stores and the
glory of drawing-rooms, instead of
being the protector of kitchen and cell
lar. There are cats like the Persian,
and species called the ''Coon," in
digenous to Maine, which are very
decorative and seem to enjoy the rib
bons which are lavished upon them,
and yet there is stealthy, covert man
ner about them which is by no means
attractive. I always feel that tn tiger
element is latent in the most demure
and peaceful cat. And yet waggish
friend of mine insists upon it that all
cats are sans reproche, while cheerfully
admitting that none of them are sans

HIDING FROM THE INDIANS.
Row Dolly came to Be Called 'sThe La
of the Clock,

How Dolly came to Be Called 'The Lady
of the Clock.'
One day, hundred and fifty years
ago. just at nightfall, a frightened boy
drove the cattle into the Norris yard,
and said that. Indians in war paint
were very near.
The men hurried to get their guns
and powder. The women hid the old
silver. that had come with them from
their English home at Epping. And
Dorothy popped a locket set with dia-
monds into big paddock. Dorothy
was ten years old; but very small.
But Mrs. Norris wished only to know
where to hide her children. She look
ed around; then she whispered to Dor
othy. dolly, my blessing, can you
get inside the" only Dolly heard,
with the babies and try to keep them
still if they wake?''
Eyes, MOTHER said dutiful Dolly,
'.I'll try"
Her mother kissed her and made
them as comfortable as she could,
thankful that her little daughter was
so very small. Dolly promised that
she would not come out until she was
sure the Indians had gone. But the time
was long, and she trembled and wept at
the dreadful sounds she heard. Once she
peeped out through a bit of clear glass,
but fell back and shut her eyes. At
last the dreadful sounds ceased, and
she heard Mr.. Lawrence and Captain
Webster talking, and there were other
voices she knew. Then the door was
opened and the wee tiny babies lifted
out from their nest of pillows still fast
asleep And her mother took Dolly in
her arms. and rubbed her stiffened
limbs. For while her two brothers had
lain like little white mice in the bottom
of the old Dutch clock. Dolly had been
obliged to stand braced against the
strong weights and works. and this
had cramped her all over:
In after years the children for miles
around called Dolly 1.-The Lady of the

The Disgusting Appearance and Phlegmat-
ic Movements of the Walrus.

! The Disgusting Appearance and Phlegmat-
ic Movements of the Walrus.
1t is melancholy fact, but none the
less true, that the walrus is one of the
most disgusting-looking objects known
to man. 1t has a raw, naked hide,
without hair or fur, covered with a
multitude of pustular-looking warts,
boiles and pimples, the skin wr.nkled
in deep, Happy folds, and marked by
dark venous lines, which show clearly
through the yellowish-brown cuticle
which seems to be peeling off with lep-
rosy, altogether most unwholesome-
looking brute, unpleasantly suggesting
the appearance we know as ''bloated. "
They are of tremendous size, ten
feet and half to twelve feet long, and
weighing fifteen or sixteen hundred
pounds. In water their motions are not
nearly so quiet or graceful as those of
the seal and sea lion, and on land they
are almost helpless, for which reason
they rarely come outside the surf-wash.
They go about in large herds. which
now and then emerge to sleep. First
one lands and lays itself out, and then
second comes and gives its prede.
cessor shove, whereupon he moves a
little further up; then comes number
three, who pokes up number two, who
prods number one, and so on till the
whole herd has got to land; each brute
pillowed on the body of the one above
him, all without quarreling, but every
movement displaying apathy and
phlegm. It's most extraordinary feat
ure is its hide, which over the shoulders
and down the throat and chest is three
inches thick, and is nowhere less than
half an inch.
1t feeds exclusively on shell fish and
the dubious roots and tender stalks of
certain marine plants. which grow
abundantly at the bottom of the bays
and lagoons IF the Alaskan coast; and
it is evidently for digging up these that
it uses its tusks, and not. as is re-.
ported, for hauling itself upon ice or
rock. Another blow to received epin-
ion is given by MI. Elliot's testimony
as to the cowardice of the brutes.
They will snort or blow to any extent
in the water, but as to attacking boat,
that is the very last thing that would
enter into their heads. 1t is unfortu-
nate that no females were to be found
about the islands. The natives say
that the creature is homogeneous; that
the female brings forth a single calf in
June, usually on the ice foes north Of
Behring's straits; that it resembles its
parents in general character when siz
weeks old, but that it's tusks do not ap.
pear till the second year, and that the
mother is strongly attached to it and
nurses it late in the season in the sea.

How an Anectionate Husband Placed
Himself in an Awkward Position.

How an Ahectionate Husband Placed
Himself in an Awkward Position.
They were celebrating their silver
wedding and the friends were admiring
them as people always do other people
when they arc getting a lot of presents.
You have noticed, of course, how peo-
pie look at you when you show them
something somebody has given you.
They are surprised and they envy you.
They always wonder, however, in
themselves, what on earth anybody
could see in you to give you any thing
so handsome. Unless it is your hus-
band. Then they smile and wonder
what he has been doing that his con-
science needs rest. But if you'll
notice, you'll find that people
who get many presents have
many friends. You may have
many friends and get precious few
presents. Presents make friends;
friends don't make presents. Married
people increase the circle of their
friends with every anniversary of their
wedding, because the presents get
handsomer and more expensive. You
can work this paradox out for your
self. haven't time. They were cele-
brating their silver wedding, and of
course the couple were very happy and
and very affectionate.
